sniffing orange peels for car/sea sickness

tea with honey, ginger, lemon for coughs/colds (honey after 12 months). Also chicken broth.

Chinese/Korean cups for muscle pain/headaches (although we are neither Chinese or Korean)

also peppermint for headaches

warm milk, lavender oil massage for restlessness

diluted Guava nectar in the bottle for diaper rash

every other day, unless he got a sweaty workout in PE or its summer.

it looks like they were being suffocated.

studies say honey is GREAT for many things after 12 months.

All this talk brings me back to those days....aww, I miss it.

oh, i love Tina Fey and the Heigl chic...she is a trip! There was a Jessica Alba film I wanted to see, but can't remember the name.

I have the Prada movie...we are featuring it in our magazine this month (magazines in movies).

tea helps them to sleep and calm down.
honey helps them poop

works wonders!!!

They do this in the Philippines too, and also guava nectar when they have diaper rash. My mom used to give me honey and a tea called Ampalaya, especially when I was sick.

I've had my fill of man movies for some time, because I always let DH pick what to watch (except for my favorite Comedy Central shows). When he asks me what I want to watch, I can't think of anything. So, tell me, what chic flic should I download tonight?

I just met two ladies recently with very unique names that I thought were nice: Kerienne and Kioshi

mine are asleep right now. Time for mommy to relax, send a few emails and blog : )

What's your other favorite site?

oh what else...the zumba instructor forum. In contrast, the forum is totally positive. you can brag, vent, ask for advice, share tips and no one ever scolds anyone. But I suppose we're all too high on endorphins to get snarky, and we don't have the cover of anonynmity.
However, I have to admit sometimes I find the snarkiness here entertaining. sometimes.

instead of "frustrated" you can use the kid word ~ mad. They would understand "I'm sorry you're mad..."

OP, I think you handled the situation well. When this happens to me, I will first nicely try to explain why her language is inappropriate and give her a better example of what she could say instead. If she still tries to be nasty then I give a time out.

I let mine watch 1-2hrs a day, and yes it has stretched to 3 at times. DS is at the top of his class in reading and math, and does a million other constructive things from reading, writing, art, physics class, hip hop class, baseball, playing with neighbors, teaching his little sister her ABCs, etc. Little sister picks up alot of Spanish from Dora and helps teach older sister! I don't think an extra hour of TV here and there is going to warp his brain for life, especially if I'm there to monitor what he is watching.
